JEDDAH – The Saudi Ministry of Labor honored Etihad Etisalat (Mobily) for the company's effort to support job creation in the Kingdom through sponsoring "Tawteen Job Exhibition 2012" which kicked off in Jeddah. Mobily has emerged strongly during the exhibition by showcasing its unique experience in the recruitment of young Saudis and the preservation of human capital in addition to its strategic plans in developing employees' skills through different specialized programs.
